..the one you press play again as soon as its finished ..

One track only ..

I’ll kick off with ” White Mist ” by The Pineapple Thief from their excellent new album ” Dissolution ”

Two versions for you to choose from ..Gavin Harrison on drums or just the album track ..it’s a bit of a monster at 11mins long ..but so good !

So..what’s yours ..

Edit : the Gavin Harrison version is shorter ..

Is there an equivalent lore about how many cymbals a drummer has on his kit, like strings on a guitar/bass that suggests “something” about the player..?

Not that I’m aware of ..

I wish I had one. But I can’t stop listening to new things. Hardly anything gets played twice until it comes up on shuffle on my ipod. I’m disturbed.

I probably have listened to this mostly lately. I think I’ve heard it 4 times since it came out

Sunshine Underground by the Chemical Brothers

‘Surrender’ became my turbo training album while I was recovering from a broken collarbone, this track builds slowly with a nice rhythm and when it ‘drops’ I would always find another gear or two, brilliant for doing sweetspot intervals to etc.

Still gives me a wee buzz even if I’m just listening to it on the bus

best song of the year for me too. Awesomes.

Can’t get enough of Anaal Nathkrath – Powerslave (Iron Maiden cover), like listening to this then the o.g song and then this again. Wow.  Needs to be loud (natch), the solo never fails to make the old hairs stand on end

Been loving the Idles new album, but I keep coming back to this;

Monstrous.  Needs to be played LOUD through a decent speaker. 

I love that Idles track, heard it on a podcast but then forgot about it.  I’ve been listening to Color Blind by The Magpie Salute, also quite appropriate for these times.

Cowboy Junkies cover of Lightin’ Hopkins “Shining Moon”.

OoooO – RTJ = i liked that, had a dig, i like this one of theirs, video reminds me of FGTH

Yesness. The Tomas Haake play-through video is really good.

There’re a couple of tracks off the new Low album I’ve had on repeat, but it’s so new I have no idea what each track is called. Album is Double Negative.

I also listen to a fair bit of Mac Miller. And then he went and ODed, the foolish boy. I don’t think I’m in the demographic for this stuff, but love it.

(er, except the last 15 seconds or so, which is a bit upsetting for a fellow of my grisly years 😆 )

New single from Clutch’ latest album

Being honest? This, although Looking For The Rain by UNKLE gets in there as well.

Lane 8 – No Captain, dirty south mix

Jay Glass Dubs – The Safest Dub. Only Sade singing on it would make it better.

RIP

Also RIP To Mac Miller as posted above, been a shitty few weeks in music for sure.

The last couple of albums from The Pineapple Thief are very good. Although Gavin Harrrison can be a little OTT at times, plays for technicality rather than the for the song.

This is popped up on my YouTube page yesterday, to say I’m a little excited is an understatement.

Peter Gabriel – Solsbury Hill Live. And, best of all, he rides a bike too so it’s almost on-topic for STW 🙂

I’m heavily rotating the following:

Pish by Brian Jonestown massacre

the ancient tribes by Goat

Dance yourself clean by LCD soundsystem

and pretty much anything by causa sui

Bigblackshed…Steven Wilsons album was probably  one of my favourite albums last year ..and so wanted to see him at The Sage , Gateshead in March this year ..but couldn’t make it ..

I hadn’t realised that Ninet Tayeb had toured with him ..

Wonder if Porcupine Tree is now dead in the water ..it’s been a while ..

any Kyuss and Fu manchu’s eatin Dust and daredevil albums

Can’t find a link to it, but Matt Berry (Toast of London) has a new album coming out called Television Themes where he’s re done themes from the 70’s and 80’s

I can’t stop listening to his take on Rainbow

Korean  house from Peggy Gou. Totz banger

Some good tracks on here all!

I hadn’t realised that Ninet Tayeb had toured with him ..

She he only did a select few dates. The RAH being one.

I saw him live at Birmingham Symphony Hall in March. It really is up there as being one of the best concerts I’ve ever been to.

Porcupine Tree is dead, according to some interviews with Mr Wilson. I’m glad I saw them on the Incident tour.

Daern

The version of Solsbury Hill is one of the best. The sheer joy of riding a bike.

It is that! I saw him on that Tour at the NEC, Birmingham, and it was a superb concert; nice touch with the stainless Moulton, Gabriel lives in Box, near Bath, the bikes are made in Bradford -on-Avon, about ten miles away.

Eddiebaby…..you have impeccable taste.

Just heard this today.  Definitely going to give the rest of the album a good listen.

how the hell do you attach a video straight into the reply?

I just copied and pasted straight into the text box.
